More on this

NASA launched an Antares rocket Sunday from the Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia, and the flight path was briefly visible to residents of eastern North Carolina under clear blue skies.

The rocket propelled a Cygnus spacecraft acked with 3,668 pounds of supplies for the six astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). That cargo includes:

1684 pounds of crew supplies including food

783 pounds of hardware for the crew’s health care, and ongoing

Maintenance of the station’s structure, electrical and thermal control systems.

18 pounds of computing, photo and television equipment

87 pounds of equipment to support spacewalks

721 pounds of science and research equipment

Among that payload are science experiments created by students, including some from North Carolina.

An experiment created by an 11-member team from Mendenhall Middle School in Greensboro will investigate how calcium sulfate crystals grown in space differ from those grown on Earth.

Their investigation builds upon previous findings that jellyfish born in space lack the ability to sense direction after returning to Earth. "We wondered if the same thing would happen to humans born in space," according to the team’s proposal. This is Guilford County Schools’ fourth Student Spaceflight Experiments Program flight.

The launch was visible up and down the East Coast including as far west as Raleigh, where the rocket was low on the horizon. Those closer to the coast got a better view of the rocket higher in the sky. At Kitty Hawk the rocket reached about 20º above the horizon.

The rocket’s path matches that of the International Space Station traveling from the northwest to the southeast. Initially, the Cygnus spacecraft will travel in the same plane as the ISS but in a lower orbit. The spacecraft will spend about three days raising that orbit to catch up with the ISS bringing it within about 2.5 miles of the station. Cygnus will slowly approach to within 40 feet of the station where astronauts grapple it with the robotic arm and berth it to the Harmony node of the station.

The ISS will next be visible in our skies:

Tuesday 5:22 a.m. from the southwest lasting 6 minutes

On Wednesday, the ISS will exit the Earth’s shadow at 4:34 a.m. in the south and travel to the southeast over 4 minutes

The next evening appearance of the ISS will during the first few days of August.

We're never going to live on Mars or the moon so NASA should be a budget cut.

— Posted by Trisha Davis

I hope you're kidding. The ultimate goal of NASA should be Mars colonization or it's a failure? Never mind all of the knowledge of our world, solar system and beyond that we've gained. Never mind the terrestrial, commercial applications that have their roots in NASA programs (see this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_spin-off_technologies).

Agreed......there's nothing out there but space......but I'd rather spend my money on this than another entitlement program which is exactly where it would end up....at least I get some form of entertainment out of the space program.

Didn't even read your post before I said pretty much the same thing. I do not know if I agree there is nothing there but space, however we both agree all it would do if it wasn't spent on NASA is end up in the hands of the lazy. At least I get something out of this outlay of cash.

You wont, others might. Even if they don't the work NASA does helps people right here on Earth.

Awesome article WRAL and amazing concepts. I liked reading the details of the flight and the pictures. Wish I had seen/heard the rocket myself.

Please produce more science reporting and less sports reporting.

And do you know how many day to day items we use that we have to thank NASA and the space program for?

One of them is how you are even reading this in the first place, the computer. Or the plastic the computer is held in. Or some of the medicines they were able to research in microgravity that help treat people you love and know.

NASA's budget is tiny compared to most other things that tax payer money is spent on. And NASA has the best return on the money.

How much of a return on investment do we get on Social Security? Welfare? The Military? The NSA? CIA? The War on Drugs? Imprisoning minor drug offenders?

All of those things cost many times more than any money that has been spent on space exploration.

To put NASA's budget in perspective, remember the TARP bailout in 2008? That one bill was more than every penny ever spent by NASA since the agency was created in 1958. Every paycheck, building, rocket and mission combined cost less than TARP. NASA's budget is about half a penny on the dollar.

We could very weell see a 20° temperature spread across central and eastern North Carolina tomorrow afternoon. Low pressure developing to our south and west will try and transport warm ocean air inland, but the cold air damming process, where shallow cold air becomes trapped east of the Appalachian mountains will be fighting the warm air. The result will be temperatures near 70 around New Bern and Wilmington, but only in the 40s around Roxboro and Greensboro.

The surface weather map should look something like this on Friday, and the result will be the coldest air so far this Winter season. But as usual, numbers can be tricky. On November 13, we plunged to 24° for an overnight low, and we may not get too much colder than that late this week. And just yesterday, we recorded a high temperature of 47, and our projected high temperatures later this week are not dramatically colder than 47. However, we have not experienced both a cold high temp and a cold low temp on the same day. This coming Saturday, we are projecting a high of 45 and a low of 23. The average temperature would be 34, which is 6.5° colder than our coldest average temperature so far of 40.5, which occurred on November 21.

Here's the equivalent look at precipitation, and as you well know, it was a very dry month across the region, though not quite in record territory. We wound up a little over 2.5 inches below normal on rainfall. This was the 9th driest November in Raleigh records going back to 1887, although we have had two years (the most recent being 1931) with only a tenth as much rain.

Most of the rain is mostly over but it's messy out there with some lingering drizzle and damp conditions. Through the day we'll see clouds thinning near the VA line, but it will stay cloudy in the south.
